Instead of the usual opening the camera panned around a blue map of the world. The words "Total Drama World Tour Aftermath" appeared on screen.
The camera cut to footage of Ezekiel being eliminated in Japan.
"Come on guys." Ezekiel said. "I can do better if you let me stay."
"It's not just that." Bridgette said. "We just don't like you as a person."
"If it's 'cause of that sexist stuff I said I'm over it, eh." Ezekiel said.
The footage then switched to DJ asking to take a break in the arctic.
"Uh... Can someone else pull the sled?" DJ asked. "My legs feel a little numb."
"You're the strongest one here." Leshawna said. "It just makes more sense."
"Okay..." DJ said.
The intro faded out and the camera cut to the Aftermath studio with Geoff and Blaineley on the couch while Justin, Eva, Trent, Katie, Sadie, and Beth sat near them in the peanut gallery.
"Who's ready for some totally dramatic aftermath?" Geoff asked the audience. "Hey there, I'm Geoff."
"And I'm Blaineley Stacy Andrews O'Halloran." Blaineley said. "I'm sure you remember me from such entertaining programs as Celebrity Manhunt."
"But today we're here to talk about Total Drama World Tour!" Geoff enthusiastically said.
"We've got the juiciest dirt and the dirtiest juice." Blaineley said. "Seriously, don't eat the apple juice at the buffet. It's disgusting."
"We've also got special guests and wicked surprises." Geoff said. "But first, let's meet my friends."
"You mean the other sad bystanders who can't even play this season?" Blaineley asked.
"C'mon, take it easy." Geoff said before turning to the peanut gallery. "Please welcome the Total Drama Peanut Gallery. Eva,"
The camera cut to non-competing contestants in the peanut gallery.
"I'm not smiling just because I'm on TV." Eva said.
"Sadie and Katie,"
"Hi everyone!" Sadie cheered.
"We're on TV!" Katie exclaimed.
"Trent,"
"What's up?" Trent said.
"Justin,"
Justin smiled at the camera and his teeth sparkled a bit.
"And Beth."
"Hello." Beth said as she waved at the camera.
"So how does everyone feel that it's Geoff's fault you're all out of the game?" Blaineley asked the non-competitors as she gestured to Geoff.
"Hey! I was just tryin' to help bro." Geoff said. "I put together a rescue party."
"And now your rescue party has to sit around and watch everyone else play for a million." Blaineley said.
"I threw a great party afterwards." Geoff said. "We had an ice cream cake and a pinata."
"I kept telling you man. That was my guitar." Trent said. "Do you know how much that costs?"
"Being on that show is way too tough on my looks." Justin said. "If I spent any amount of time in the Yukon my face would be pretty much ruined forever from the cold."
"And I don't need a million dollars." Eva said. "Got it!"
"But what about the free flight around the world? Surely at least one of you wants that." Blaineley said.
"With Chris and Chef torturing us? No thank you." Beth said.
"But what about watching all your old friends hang out without you?" Blaineley asked.
"I've got Sadie." Katie said.
"Aw thanks." Sadie said. "I've got you too."
"Guess they're just being honest." Blaineley said as he turned to Geoff. "But what about you? Have any regrets?"
"Pfft, no. Of course not." Geoff said. "I'd way rather be on this show than suffer for more teenage drama."
"Care to prove with a game of... Truth or Hammer!" Blaineley asked.
"Uh... Sure." Geoff said. "I've got nothing to hide."
A giant mallet swung down from above Geoff and narrowly missed him.
"Nice moves Geoff." Blaineley said. "Almost as nice as the moves Alejandro put on Bridgette in the Yukon."
"Yeah, well, I'm not jealous. She didn't fall for him so I don't care." Geoff said.
A safe, a piano, and an anvil fall towards Geoff but they all missed him.
"Okay, those were not hammers!" Geoff exclaimed.
"Hey, blame the props department not me." Blaineley said. "Now come on back over here. I've been informed we're out of stuff to drop on you."
Geoff walked back over to Blaineley and sat next to her on the couch.
"We're gonna be interviewing all the eliminated contestants that have been kicked off since the season began." Geoff said to the camera.
"Everyone we could find at least." Blaineley said. "Because one of our ex-contestants has gone AWOL. Which segues us into our new segment. As designed by moi."
The camera cuts to a black background with the silhouette of Duncan running in a spotlight in the centre.
"It's time for Total. Drama. Fugitive!" Geoff said via voice over.
A cage dropped over Duncan's silhouette.
The scene shifted to footage of Duncan quitting the show.
"After refusing to sing Duncan became the first contestant in Total Drama history to quit the show." Geoff said as the camera zoomed out from the screen to show him and Blaineley watching it.
"Only Duncan would throw away a chance at a million." Trent said. "Idiot."
"But the strange thing is... He hasn't been heard from." Blaineley said.
"He was last seen hanging from a large fruited bush willow in Africa." Geoff said. "But since then... Nothing. Duncan's totally disappeared."
"So we asked for answers and our viewers responded like never before." Blaineley said. "Here are some incredible sightings and photos."
"Let's take a look at a video captured by..." Geoff said as he looked at the cue card he was holding. "Hamish McTavish of Loch Ness."
The screen behind them changed to show what appeared to be Duncan's mohawk sticking out of a lake.
"What do you think?" Blaineley asked. "Real or fake?"
"Totally f-" Geoff began before being cut off by Blaineley grabbing his lips.
"We sent on of our professional field reporters, and by that I mean Eva, to interview the witness." Blaineley said. "Here's the clip."
After a brief flash of static the footage changed to Eva interviewing a Scottish man near Loch Ness.
"So you gotta tell me what you saw." Eva said impatiently. "And make it snappy. I've got places to be."
The Scottish man tries to talk to Eva but due to his thick accent all that was heard was inaudible gibberish.
"What are you saying!" Eva shouted angrily. "Ah forget this!"
She threw her microphone on the ground and it bounced back up causing it to hit the Scottish man in the groin.
Some more static flashed by and the footage changed back to the present.
"In hindsight we probably should've sent someone with less of an anger problem there." Blaineley remarked. "But what do you think of the photo?'
"Duh, it was so clearly a massive fake." Geoff said.
"Fine, don't believe." Blaineley said. "But just days later we had another sighting. This time from Sweden."
More static flashed by on screen and the footage switched to that of a handheld camera focusing on what appeared to be Duncan's shadowy figure running through the woods. The figure ran off of a cliff and hit their head on several rocks cursing along the way. Although each time the figure talked they were censored.
The scene shifted back to the present.
"What about that one?" Blaineley asked. "Real or fake?"
"Tough to tell man." Geoff said. "There wasn't a single non-swear in there we could play. I guess we'll have to ask the editing dude."
"But it really bleeped like Duncan." Blaineley said. "Who can fake that level of profanity?"
"The question remains. Where is Duncan now?" Geoff asked the camera.
"Nobody can find him." Blaineley said. "Not even everyone's fave host: Chris McLean."
"Chris is looking for Duncan?" Beth said confusedly.
"Yeah, his parents are really mad about us kind of just letting their son disappear." Blaineley said. "We've got the whole Total Drama Machine looking for him."
The camera cut to a robot walking down a street in a suburban neighbourhood.
"Duncan... Duncan..." The robot said.
It looked through a window and saw a woman sleeping in bed with her cat.
"Duncan... Duncan..." The machine once again said.
It reached through the window and tried to grab her.
"Ah! Michael Bay was right!" The woman screamed.
The scene changed back to the Aftermath Studio.
"Uh... It might still have a few bugs." Blaineley said.
"But enough with that." Geoff said. "Let's meet today's first aftermath guest. Homeschooled outcast: Ezekiel!"
"Um... I think the fact that Duncan is missing might be a bit concerning." Justin pointed out. "Maybe we should focus on that."
"Yeah, I knew this show was dangerous. But never this dangerous." Trent said.
"Oh relax, what's the worst that could've happened to him?" Blaineley asked.
"He could've died." Eva said flatly.
"Don't jump to conclusions." Blaineley said. "I'm sure he's fine."
"Blaineley, let's keep focus please." Geoff said.
"Right." Blaineley said. "Please welcome: Ezekiel!"
Ezekiel walked on stage.
"Where am I supposed to sit, eh?" Ezekiel asked.
Geoff grabbed him by the wrist and brought him over to the catch.
"Wow, eh. I've never been interviewed on this show." Ezekiel said.
"That's because you didn't compete last season." Geoff said.
"Zeke, let's take a look your Total Drama Journey." Blaineley said. "We've edited together some never before seen clips of you that we think accurately portray your journey here."
The screen above their head has some static on it before changing to a clip of Ezekiel on the plane runway in the first episode.
"What's with the plane, eh?" Ezekiel asked.
The footage switched to him holding on to the plane's landing gear.
"They're not gonna kick me off first again, eh!" Ezekiel exclaimed.
It then changed to him tiredly walking through the desert with his team.
"Aw man, I'm so tired, eh." Ezekiel complained.
The scene shifted to him in Economy Class as turbulence shook the plane.
"I don't wanna die, eh!" Ezekiel exclaimed.
The camera cut to him falling off the plane while trying to strap on his parachute.
"Aw man, it's totally unfair I got kicked off, eh." Ezekiel said.
The camera zoomed out to the present with Ezekiel looking confused at the footage.
"That was it?" Ezekiel asked. "That was like ten seconds. Maybe even less."
"Sorry bro." Geoff said. "Tough break being the first kicked off twice in a row."
"Duncan quit before me." Ezekiel said. "So I was only the second person voted off. Like Eva."
"Don't compare yourself to me you little freak!" Eva shouted from the side.
"Sorry, eh." Ezekiel said.
"Yeah! You'd better be sorry!" Eva shouted.
"So Zeke, anything you regret doing on the show?" Geoff asked.
"Not really." Ezekiel said. "Y'know I thought I did pretty well."
"Again, you were the first to be booted off your team." Blaineley reminded him.
"At least I'm actually good at challenges, eh." Ezekiel said. "Tyler sucks and his team keeps him around."
"There we go." Blaineley said. "That is the dirt we wanted to hear."
"Meh, we all kind of agree he's not that good at sports." Trent remarked.
"Yeah, he's a nice guy but sports really aren't his thing." Sadie said.
Katie nodded.
"I still don't get why nobody liked me." Ezekiel said.
"You're sexist." Blaineley said.
"I am not! I've changed." Ezekiel said.
"No you haven't!" Eva shouted. "You kept asking me if I'm on my period after we were eliminated in the first season."
"It's just you're always angry. I didn't mean to offend you, eh." Ezekiel said.
"Well it was offensive!" Eva shouted.
"But where you on your period?" Ezekiel asked.
"One of the times, yes. But the rest of the times you were just being an idiot!" Eva exclaimed.
"Was it the time you punched me in the face?" Ezekiel asked.
"Zeke, can we get back on track?" Geoff asked.
"Oh yeah, sorry, eh." Ezekiel said.
"You know some people have said that you are the worst singer on this show." Blaineley said.
"I'm not that bad." Ezekiel defended. "I thought I did pretty well. I haven't heard any of these guys sing."
Ezekiel pointed over at the peanut gallery.
"Ooh! Are we singing?" Katie asked.
"Can we sing an Ace of Base song?" Sadie asked. "I love them."
"I'd like to sing too." Beth said.
"Nobody is singing!" Blaineley exclaimed. "Especially you Beth!"
"Hey!" Beth exclaimed. "I've got a great singing voice."
"Don't lie to yourself." Blaineley said.
"Y'know I wouldn't mind singing, eh." Ezekiel said.
"No! That gimmick is already stupid on the main show. I don't want it crossing over to here." Blaineley said.
"Why did you even accept a job here?" Geoff asked. "You seem to hate it."
"Money." Blaineley said.
"That makes sense, eh." Ezekiel said. "I'd totally do anything for money."
"Zeke, get off this set. Your fifteen minutes of fame are up." Blaineley said.
"It hasn't even been fifteen minutes." Ezekiel said.
"It's a figure of speech you dolt!" Blaineley yelled.
"Oh... Sorry, eh." Ezekiel said.
Ezekiel got up and left.
"So Geoff, before we introduce our next guest I've got some questions for you." Blaineley said. "How do you really feel about Alejandro trying to seduce your girlfriend?"
"I told you man. I doesn't bug me at all. She's not interested in him." Geoff said. "So I've got no reason to be jealous."
"Really now." Blaineley said, unconvinced. "But what about-"
"Hey! You know what time it is?" Geoff asked as he put his hand over Blaineley's mouth. "That's right. It's my favourite segment: That's Gonna Leave a Mark!"
"No it's not." Blaineley said after she removed Geoff's hand.
"Yes it is." Geoff denied.
"No it's not!" Blaineley said, sounding angrier than before.
"Roll the clips!" Geoff exclaimed.
"Do not start the montage yet!" Blaineley yelled off screen.
"Don't listen to her!" Geoff shouted in the same direction.
"I will strangle you with a telephone cord!" Blaineley threatened Geoff.
"Unseen footage! Injury! You know the drill!" Geoff shouted at the camera while putting his hand on Blaineley's head to hold her back. "Play the clips now!"
The camera cut to a clip of Team Chris going through the New York sewer. Alejandro saw that he was about to smash his head into a pipe and he ducked to avoid it. He confidently looked back at the pipe he just missed only to hit his head on another pipe he didn't see.
It then cut to Ezekiel reading Harold's script while leaning on a stage light inside the plan. Ezekiel accidentally pushed the stage light over and he fell on top of it.
The final clip was of Tyler balancing on an ice float in the Yukon. He tried to walk across it only to fall flat on his face. The camera panned to a polar bear cub and their mother watching this as the sound of Tyler falling over some more was heard. After a little bit the mother bear put their paw in front of the cubs eyes.
The footage switched to the present with Geoff laughing at the footage and Blaineley glaring at him.
"Remember when you asked us if you wished we were back in the game?" Geoff asked. "Well that's why I don't want to be. I'd totally rather be here any day."
"Geoff! We were having a conversations here!" Blaineley snapped. "Admit you're jealous of Alejandro!"
"I'm not." Geoff denied.
"Oh come on!" Blaineley exclaimed.
"Hey, would you look at that? We've got one clip left." Geoff said.
"There are only so many clips we're allowed to show in each segment." Blaineley pointed out.
"Exactly." Geoff siad. "That's why it's got its own segment. Because it's my favourite and it's also super awesome."
"Really? And what's the name of this segment you totally didn't make up on the spot?" Blaineley asked sarcastically.
"Uh... It's called... Geoff's Favourite Random Act of Violence of the Week in Random Violence." Geoff answered. "You interested?"
"Hmm... I do like a good random act of violence." Blaineley said. "Fine. I'll let your fake segment you just made up slide. Roll the clip."
"Only I get to say that." Geoff said.
"Shut up." Blaineley said before looking at someone off camera. "Roll the clip! Now!"
The screen above them changed to footage of Chef approaching a camel in Egypt. The camera zoomed in on the screen. Chef raised up a laded while the camel wasn't looking.
"Hey!" Izzy exclaimed as the camera panned to her. "My camera is not falafel."
Chef raised up his pot and ladle. Izzy jumped into the air and tried to kick Chef. She hit his pot and just bounced off.
"Nice try crazy girl." Chef said.
Izzy got up from the ground.
"Egyptian style!" Izzy exclaimed.
She struck a pose and bobbed her head back and forth. She walked over to Chef and tried to punch him only to be blocked by the pot.
"C'mon girl! That all you got!" Chef taunted.
Izzy managed to land a punch on Chef's face and knock him to the ground. He flew back a few feet and his boots fell off. He looked up and saw the camel above him.
"Let me guess..." Chef trailed off.
The camel sat on his face. Izzy went over to to Chef and started ticking his feet.
"Who's Izzy's best friend now?" Izzy said.
"Stop! I was just tryin' to feed them some oats! I swear!" Chef exclaimed.
The footage cut to static and zoomed out.
"Huh... I coulda sworn there was more of it." Geoff said.
"There was. I just told them to cut it off early." Blaineley said. "It's time to stop dodging my questions and time to start-"
"Introducing our next guest! DJ!" Geoff interrupted.
"Wait, what?" Blaineley said.
DJ walked on to stage and sat with the hosts.
"Ugh! Fine. We'll do the stupid interview first." Blaineley said.
"It's actually kinda nice to be here." DJ said. "From the three challenges I was in I can definitely say that this was the toughest season yet."
"So DJ, let's get right to the meat." Blaineley said. "What was with your animal curse?"
"Uh, I'd prefer not to talk about it." DJ said.
"Um... You kind of have to." Blaineley said. "It's literally one of the biggest reasons you're here right now."
"There's no such thing as curses." DJ said.
"So what do you call what happened to you?" Blaineley asked.
"Just a string of bad luck I guess." DJ said.
"Sure it was." Blaineley said flatly.
"So DJ, bro, what was your favourite part of this journey." Geoff said.
"Hard to say." DJ said.
"To many good times?" Geoff asked.
"Uh... Kind of the opposite." DJ said. "This has probably been the most miserable season yet."
"Ah, just what I like to hear." Blaineley said.
"Bro, what is wrong with you?" Geoff asked.
"What, it's my job to enjoy drama." Blaineley said. "I relish in your misery."
"You're scaring me..." DJ uncomfortably said.
"Good." Blaineley said.
"What's with her?" DJ asked Geoff.
Geoff shrugged.
"There's nothing wrong with me." Blaineley said. "You people just aren't as professional as me. God! I need a new agent. Who's idea was it to pair me up with a bunch of stupid teens?"
"Hey!" Geoff exclaimed.
"You're not very nice." DJ said.
"Hey, that's showbiz for you." Blaineley said.
"I wish Bridgette was here." Geoff said.
"Why? That way Alejandro can't get his hands on her?" Blaineley asked. "Jeez, talk about overprotective."
"Hey! Don't put words into my mouth." Geoff said.
"Do you want me to leave?" DJ asked.
"Stick around DJ." Blaineley said. "We're not done yet."
"Oh... Okay." DJ said.
"So we've got some more questions." Blaineley said to DJ. "The folks at home would like to know more about your animal curse."
"I keep telling you. There was no curse." DJ said. "I just had a small amount of bad luck. And that little baby seal was nice to me at the end."
"Boooring. C'mon, there has to be something dramatic in there." Blaineley said. "Isn't there someone on the show you really despise?"
"No, I love everyone." DJ said. "Even Heather... Kind of. Deep down we're all real nice people."
A collective "Aw" came from the Peanut Gallery.
"Ugh! This isn't good TV. You are too nice! You know that?" Blaineley said to DJ. "Why did they even accept you onto this show?"
"Whoa, Blaineley, take it easy." Geoff said.
"I am taking it easy!" Blaineley exclaimed.
"Doesn't sound like it." Geoff said.
"Are you gonna be okay?" DJ asked her.
"DJ, there is no way someone as nice as you is real." Blaineley said.
"But I am that nice." DJ said.
"You have to be faking it in some kind of weird scheme." Blaineley said.
"Uh, I know DJ and he is definitely not." Geoff said.
"I can leave now if you want me to." DJ said.
"Do not leave." Blaineley said. "I need drama! I know you were only there for a bit but come on. You had to raise some Hell. Even Zeke was kind of a jerk to his team."
"I don't think he was." Beth interjected.
"Stay out of this, Beth!" Blaineley yelled.
"What do you have against Beth?" DJ asked.
"Nothing." Blaineley said. "She just doesn't have a very camera-friendly face."
"Hey!" Beth exclaimed. "I got my braces removed. So that's something."
"Shut it." Blaineley said.
"Hey Blaine, I know this might be a bad time but we're out of time for DJ's segment." Geoff said. "And you spent like ninety percent of it having a mental breakdown."
"It's cool." DJ said.
"DJ, get out of here right now." Blaineley said.
"Okay." DJ respectfully said.
He got up and walked away while waving to the audience.
"Well, that's all the time we've got for today." Geoff said.
"Not so fast!" Blaineley interrupted. "You still need to answer the question on everyone's lips. Are you jealous of Alejandro?"
"Pretty sure you're the only one who wants to know." Trent pointed out.
"Shut up Guitar Boy!" Blaineley snapped.
"Jeez, why do you want to know?"Geoff asked.
"It doesn't matter why! Just tell me!" Blaineley demanded.
"I mean, I guess a little." Geoff said. "He's hot and charming but I'm not that worried. Bridge is totally loyal to me."
"Th-that's it! All that build up for that!" Blaineley snapped.
"There really wasn't that much build up." Sadie pointed out.
"Shut up. Your outfit has never been fashionable in any decade." Blaineley said.
"Why does this make you so mad?" Geoff asked.
"You answer me this? Why were you so secretive about this if you didn't care that much?" Blaineley asked.
"I dunno. I don't really like talking about my personal biz with people I don't know that well." Geoff said.
"Ugh! This is the worse show I have ever been a part of!" Blaineley said. "Ah! I hate this! I'm going home early today! I don't care if I get paid less!"
Blaineley got up from the couch and stormed off set.
"Uh... So I guess this is the end of the show folks?" Geoff uncomfortably said. "Hey, can someone help me with the outro?"
Everyone in the peanut gallery looked over at Eva.
"Ugh, seriously?" Eva complained. "Fine."
Eva walked over to Geoff and sat next to her.
"The next Aftermath won't be for a little bit but stick around." Geoff said. "'Cause on the main show there's gonna be lots of drama, love, and music. So tune in next time for..."
"Am I supposed to say it?" Eva asked.
Geoff nodded.
"Total... Drama... WORLD TOUR!" Eva loudly said.
After a long pause Geoff spoke up. "Shoulda just done it myself."
"Ya think?" Eva flatly said.
I hope this was as good as the rest. I find it a little hard to write the Aftermaths but hopefully I did well. Without Bridgette there most of the focus was shifted to Blaineley who is a surprisingly fun character to write. I know this chapter was shorter than the others but hopefully I can make it up to you soon with the next actual game chapter. Anyway, let me know what you think about this chapter.
